A JiRUTAL OUTRAGE. t
Early Sunday morning a report c
! reached town that a most brutal and a
barbarous murder had been committed ^
about three inilcsin the county. Upon jl
investigation it was ascertained that *'
while a murder had not been com- 11
mitted a horrible attempt had been ?
made. The facts are these:
On Siinday mornii.g Iw-uben F?>rd *
went to the house of his son-in-law, (
John Ford. Findifg the door closed 11
and no one stirring within went awav,
but afrer a short time returned again,
j
and. hearing no sound within, opened
!lie door and went in!o (lie house, lie
ft tinc'l his daughter, Eugenia Ford,
kneeling beside her bed in an nncon- 11
scions state with three deep gashes in ^
her head. The woman was unable to
speak. A physician was immediately u
called in. His examination revealed
the fact that wounds had been iuilictcd
with some heavy ^instrument. From
one of the wounds on the left side of s
the head the brains of the unfortunate
creature were exuding, the bane of the
skull had been diivin down the length 11
of an inch or more upon the brain. ^
The injuries had evidently been intlictcd
by some heavy instrument. P
The only thing found in the house c
with which snch blows could have
been dealt was an axe: but there was P
no blood or hair on the blade or any Cl
portion of it. If it had been used it ^
was carefully ck-aned by the assailant. ^
John Ford, the husband of the c<
- , ti
woman, is suspected or naving com- **
mitted the deed. The woman had ^
been sick for a number of months and sl
unable lo work, and it is supposed that c;
he became wearied of her and took c<
this way of ridding himself ot the n
burden of supporting her. The only
grounds for suspecting John Ford is ^
his mysterious absence. A thorough ^
search has been made for him, but has ai
as yet been inellectuai. wr.en last v
seen he was with his wife about 11 S(
o'clock Saturday night. lie was said a'
to have been much kinder in hi? treat- ^
rr.ent of his wife than most negroes. u
A warrant has been issued for his n
arrest, and efforts are being made to
have a reward offered for his approhension.

are to be seen on such occasions, the

The Colored Farmers' Alliance held

. C. Jackson in the chair. The atsndanee
being small, very little imortant
business was transacted. The
otton bagging' question came up and
iscusscd freely, but no motion was
assed 011 it. A little was said conem
ing politics, but Joseph Thompson ,
r.. arose and objected to anything
eing said or done in that line as the
[institution forbad it. They all agreed,
aat one of the main things that
ic Alliance means to do is to
and organized until two more good
i'ops could be made when the Alliance
Juki do sonic good. Some of the
lembei's seemed surprised at the
irn in politics; they thought they
-ere organized to fight the trust and
ie like and learn to be better farmers
nd better farm laborers and see that
ill* children are better educated, but
:>me of our members have forgotten
11 these things and are so excited over
ie little Tight in the Democratic ranks
ntil they think that they can work
ght into tlie Governor's chair. I am
tie that know von cannot do it. I
ill give you my advice below. It is 1
ot tlie time for you to enter this
>ntest. Yon had better turn your
pad to tlie education of your children.
; is a shame to see men standing- disuting
over the white man's business, i
nd our children running doing notliig.
There are enough colored boys 1
ho meet each railroad train to make ,
hundred bales of cotton, and they
ould be better dressed and less of :

rothron of_Jiairfield Countv?to the '

of the Colored Farmers* Alliance -
i this county and knowing the spirit '
t some of my brethren believe it is 1

Messrs. Editors, will you confer the
favor 011 vour readers (for my benefit
especially) of informing us as to the
host map of South Carolina, where it
can be obtained, and what is the price.
I wish one (not a railroad map) for
all general purposes. A few years
agO HIE _AKWS AM) Jlxei uiii- i

but I have forgo\ten what and where.
Is the constitution of the United
States with all its amendments published
separately? If *o where can it
be had? 1 have about half dozen
histories of the United States, but
don't know that I have the constitu- '
tion in rny library.
Speaking1 of maps just now calls to j
mind the "Peerless Atlas of the World." j
which I suppose you have seen, published
by Mast. Crowell & Kirkpatrick,!
Springfield, Ohio, size 14 by 11 inches.!
It is far better than anything T have J
ever seen. It is affirmed to be better :
every way, and to contain" larger and
liner maps than are found in $5 and ;
?10Atlases. It snouiu oc loumi iu
every liomc. store, office and count i:i?r

pages are devoted to maps: remaining
thirty-two pages (with three columns
to a page) is given to a brief but
comprehensive sketch of every State
and territory of t lie United State#, and
of every other country in the world.
Recent discoveries and explorations
give to the Polar Regions, and to the
Dark Continent a new face. So with
Australia. This Atlas and the "Ladies'

An Augusta boy who had committed
some misdemeanor was about to receive
chastisement at the hands of bis
mother. He asked "to go to his room.
The mother assented, and curious as
to his errand followed and listened at
the door._ She heard her son praying
inside. This is what, lie saic: "Lioru,
if you love little boy?, and want to
help one out, now is your time." The
prayer was granted. The grown up
public might learn from this to kuow
their wants. They stumble along,
weary, over-worked, bilious and dyspeptic,
when a bottle of Dr. Westmoreland's
Calisaya Tonic would free
ihem irom worry aud pain. Those
depressed by over-work, or enervated
by climate or recent illness, have an
unfailing remedy in Calisaya Tonic.
Mn lifimp should be without it. In
malarial sections it is worth its weight
